MORE than 60 teenagers will join Cumbrian employers for Dream Placements over the half-term break.
Dream Placement is Cumbria’s unique leadership and business experience programme organised by the Centre for Leadership Performance in collaboration with companies, schools and colleges across the county, and funded by local businesses.
A record 38 employers ranging from local SMEs to multinational companies interviewed almost 100 motivated and ambitious 16-18 year olds in December, at the end of an inclusive selection and development process that resulted in the highest ever number of Dream Placement teenagers being selected.
CforLP Executive Director Sarah Glass said:
“The companies and organisations making the selection were so impressed with the young people they saw that many of them increased the number they were taking. It was a brilliant response from our fantastic business partners.”
Alongside leadership in the workplace, the teenagers will learn about career opportunities in Cumbria.
More than 2,000 young people have so far been involved with the development programme which is funded by businesses committed to investing in the county’s young people.
